There will be no refuse collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Waste paper and cardboard will also be collected on the rearranged refuse collection dates and residents are reminded to recycle their Christmas waste.

Christmas trees should be chopped up and placed inside green bins, or for households not on the green wheeled bin service, tied up and left with burgundy bins or lilac sacks on green waste collection week. They can also be taken to the household waste recycling centres like the one in Henthorn, Clitheroe.
